That is to say, on the vernal equinox, every household has to cook more than ten solid jiaozi and put it on a plate to dry. Bamboo with leaves is cut from the bamboo forest. Children in each family poke glutinous rice balls at the top of the bamboo pole, carry them to the ground, and then insert them into their own ridges one by one. I hope the glutinous rice dumplings can stick to the mouth of the sparrow who steals food, so that the sparrow will not destroy the crops. And we will cook glutinous rice balls for health, because glutinous rice is the main raw material and other ingredients, and it is rich in nutrition.
